A case of pancreatic abscess from Salmonella typhimurium is reported. After surgical drainage of the abscess, positive stool cultures persisted. Finally, after intensive antimicrobial therapy with tetracycline and chloramphenicol, and cholecystectomy, stool cultures became negative. This is, to our knowledge, the first published case of S. typhimurium pancreative abscess.
Cystic vaginal adenosis was diagnosed in a 31-year-old woman. This lesion regressed promptly following the cessation of an oral contraceptive (Ovulen-21) which had been used continuously for 5 years. The temporal relationship between discontinuation of contraceptive treatment and the regression strongly suggests that the medication played a causal role in producing cystic vaginal adenosis. A possible mechanism may have been the stimulation of quiescent glands to growth and cystic dilatation, which finally produced a lesion associated with clinical symptoms.

This report describes a neonate delivered by cesarean section who had conjunctivitis due to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Evidence supporting the hypothesis that gonococcal conjunctivitis can be acquired in utero is provided by this case study, which also emphasizes that saline lavage is inappropriate after instillation of AgNO3 into the neonate's eyes.
